No matter how much Obama talks about his “tough” new financial
regulatory reforms or offers rote condemnations of Wall Street greed,
few believe there’s been real change. That’s not just because so many
have lost their jobs, their savings and their homes. It’s also because
so many know that the loftiest perpetrators of this national
devastation got get-out-of-jail-free cards, that too-big-to-fail banks
have grown bigger and that the rich are still the only Americans
getting richer.

To me, this is the biggest failing of the Obama administration - he hasn't gone after the crooks and thieves who screwed us all because Dems are afraid to offend the rich. Why? Self interest, of course. Money buys elections, as we're about to see. So, gee, you can't prosecute the rich buddies of the people who fund elections, now can you? Half courage is no courage at all.
